They made the mistake to have not one, but two featured stories on Slashdot today. No wonder their site is down, LOL

  x86-64 is the AMD architecture that they ripped off of Intel! (or at least it will be in 6 months when Intel's PR department gets done with it).
If they used "Ultimate Cooling Technology" by BabyDave · 2004-03-21 05:05 · Score: 5, Funny

In anticipation of intel's move away from MHz numbers and confusing names, I predict the nonoca will adopt the name "Intel Xeon Championship Edition."

  That is only compatible with Windows XP Longhorn Professional XPR Edition.NET

So who's going to be first to use a cluster of these in a notebook.

Sure you'll have to use an external keypad and mouse...but you'll also be able to cook cheese and ham toasties with the lid down ;-)
